filling in rosette

Post by dwd811 »

How do I get the rosette (abalone and wbw rings) filled and smooth before finish sanding and wash coating? Thought about lacquer sticks but I have no experience with them. Thanks

Burn in sticks work nice and are one of my favorites. You can also spray your sealer and then drop fill with CA or lacquer. If doing an epoxy pore fill you can use some of it.
You never know what you are capable of until you actually try....
